I gave a phone call interview to detail my business case, inspired by "Merit Money", that appeared in your book "Management Workout" with the title "A Crazy Idea That Works"...and that has been a great pleasure and reward for me! Congrats, Jurgen, you deserve it!

Can I visit you innNerherlands and invite you what you say you suck at? Building on networking?!

“The monthly supporter fee happens to exactly match the price of a medium café latte at my local coffee bar. What a delightful coincidence! Upgrade now, and you’ll have a solid shot at winning a signed copy of my book.”

A year ago, I started, meet me LinkedIn connection on their own turf. Where they feel confident. I’d be happy to do so for you and maybe .. , maybe I could show you why I feel so comfortable at dealing with human AND robotic agents. Reach out to me on WhatsApp 0032489 99 53 93 or email jord@humanfarer.com !

A coffee would be nice, Jord.

But I go on vacation soon.

Let's discuss later in November.

I really like how you framed 100 subscribers as an MVP milestone instead of a vanity metric. Turning creator growth into a product experiment is the mindset more of us should be adopting.

That line about Gmail as a CRM hit a little too close to home. Congrats, Jurgen. You’ve built more than a following; you’ve built proof of concept.
